Chapter 200: Layout of Guobei (Part II)
"What are you going to do? Now stand up and tell the people of Guobei County, it was you who killed the tree demon of Lanruo Temple, ascended to the heights, and enjoyed the praise and worship of the people? Although she had gradually agreed with Ye Sen's plan in her heart, Yan Chixia still sneered unyieldingly
Ye Sen smiled at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said, "No, how can this kind of thing be done by us personally?" I've got a better candidate! Let's go, follow me! ”
"Where!?" Yan Chixia was stunned and very puzzled
"County government! Find a county order endorsement! This kind of thing must be officially recognized to be the most convincing! ”
When Ye Sen and his party came to the gate of the county government, they were stopped by the officials guarding the door, seeing that Ye Sen and the four of them were gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, the officials did not dare to scold them at will as they usually treat ordinary people, but stepped forward very politely and asked: "Two sons, what are you doing?" ”
Ye Sen waved his hand and threw out a golden leaf, and said indifferently: "Go!" Tell your prefectural magistrates! Let's just say that the head of the Heavenly Dao Sect came to visit! ”
"Heavenly Dao Sect? Head? The official was a little puzzled when he heard this, but when he saw Ye Sen's generous move, he seemed to be very difficult to provoke, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately confessed, turned around and ran into the county office to report.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the official who reported the news just now came to Ye Sen and the others with a middle-aged Confucian who looked like a master. As soon as they met, the master stepped forward and saluted: "Sons, strong men, I heard that you asked to see the county lord?" Don't know what's going on? ”
Ye Sen said lightly: "Well, it's not a big deal!" I heard that you are looking for the immortal who has eliminated the demon of Lanruo Temple? Is there such a thing? ”
"Indeed!" The master nodded affirmatively, and then said with some doubts: "Why did Childe suddenly ask about this?" Do you know the immortal? ”
"Not only do you know the deity, but you know it now!" Ye Sen stretched out his palm, and in an instant, the palm of his hand shone with electric light, and he said sonorously: "The one who got rid of the tree demon of Lanruo Temple is the deity!" ”
"What!?" The master's eyes widened, he looked at the thunder in Ye Sen's palm in disbelief, bent down tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain has eyes but no beads, I don't know that it is the immortal chief in person, and I ask the immortal chief to forgive me!" ”
Ye Sen waved his hand, and a soft spiritual power quickly lifted the master up, and said with a long laugh: "Those who don't know are not to blame!" Get up! Now, can you take me to your prefectural magistrate? ”
"Nature, nature! Immortal Chief, please come in! The master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way
"Hmm!" Ye Sen waved his sleeves, took Yan Chixia and the other three, Shi Shiran walked into the gate of the county office, and in the eyes of many officials who were shocked, worshipped, or frightened, went straight to the backyard where the county order was located.
Along the way, under Ye Sen's side knocks and intentional inquiries, Ye Sen learned that the original county commander of Guobei County was surnamed Hu, and he was born in Jinshi, but because his family power was not strong, he was assigned to Guobei County, a place of poor mountains and bad waters. And it has been three years since he took office, but no one has been interested in the imperial court, let alone sent officials to contact, if nothing else, in the next term, this unlucky Hu County Commander will inevitably stay here to suffer.
However, Hu Xianling himself is quite a skillful official. At the beginning of his tenure, bandits were rampant in Guobei County, and even the county town was full of smoke and miasma, all kinds of fights and brawls were common, and murder and arson were not even new. After Hu Xianling took over Guobei County, he relied on the official authority and his ruthless methods to gain a firm foothold, and gradually cleared out those who did not obey discipline. The officials Ye Sen saw before who patrolled with knives and searched for wanted criminals were all from Hu County's order. It is precisely because of the wanton arrest and killing of these officials that the public security in Guobei County has gradually improved, if it is changed before the arrival of Hu County, a powerless scholar like Ning Caichen may be cut down before he reaches Guobei County!
When Ye Sen and the others followed the guidance of the master to the study of the county order, Hu County's order, who had received the notification from his subordinates in advance, immediately got up and greeted him: "I don't know if the four immortal masters are coming, I miss the welcome, and I hope that the immortal master will forgive the sins!" ”
Ye Sen waved out a spiritual power, repeated the skill, and helped up the county order, then waved his hand and said: "The county lord doesn't have to be polite!" ”
Seeing that Ye Sen lifted his body up with a wave of his hand, Hu Xianling was suddenly shocked in his heart, and when he put away his slackness, his attitude immediately became more enthusiastic, and he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Come on, serve tea!" Bring my treasured tribute tea to a few immortal masters to taste! A few immortal masters, please take a seat. ”
The guest and host sat down and took a sip of the fragrant tea offered by the servant, and Ye Sen slowly spoke: "Lord County, this time I came to you because I wanted to trouble you!" ”
"No trouble, no trouble! If the immortal master has any orders, the lower officials will definitely do their best to help! Hu Xianling's attitude was extremely enthusiastic, and he agreed without even asking.
"Good!" Ye Sen was still extremely satisfied with Hu County's respectful attitude, so he nodded immediately and said: "This seat passed by Guobei County before, and saw that there was a thousand years of tree demons in Lanruo Temple that killed living beings, so he fought with him angrily. Although it paid a lot of price, it was successfully uprooted. The day before yesterday, the explosion sound from Guobei County was caused by the battle between this seat and the Dryad! ”
"Huh!?" Hu County Ling exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, and said "shockedly": "This county originally thought that the earth-shattering loud noise the day before yesterday was caused by the earth dragon turning over, but I never thought that it was caused by the battle between the immortal master and the demon of Nalan Ruo Temple?" The immortal master has vast magical powers, which is really admirable! ”
"Hehe..."Looking at Hu Xianling's reverent expression, Ye Sen smiled undeniably, and then continued: "Although this seat is except for the tree demon of Lanruo Temple, but how can the tree demon have been cultivated for more than a thousand years, and the hole cards are really beyond the expectations of this seat. A thousand years have been a long time, and in these long years, the dryad has somehow secretly made contact with a ghost king in the vain city of the underworld. This seat killed the tree demon, and inadvertently offended the ghost king, taking advantage of the day when the ghost gate was opened on the Midyear Festival yesterday, the ghost king actually came to take revenge with an army of thousands of yin soldiers! Thanks to my friend Yan Chixia Yan Daxia who helped in time, I was able to repel the ghost king. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Regardless of whether what Ye Sen said was true or not, Hu Xianling did not dare to have any criticism, but followed Ye Sen's words and muttered to himself: "The demons of Lanruo Temple are still connected with the people of the underworld? No wonder, I've always heard that there are female ghosts in Lanruo Temple before, and it turns out that the root is actually here! ”
